Members germs Posted May 13, 2009 Members Share Posted May 13, 2009 Fender no longer uses nitro in production. That particular compound is illegal in California. Seriously, nitro is toxic. MOST "nitro" production guitars these days are layered thinly on top of a poly finish. And that is done off site, where guitars are shipped to another source for painting (hence the price hike). That way you still get the desirable checking over the years - but the instrument remains stable. Nitro finishes are still being supplied (you can get them online from various paint stores), but only weekend warriors and independent luthiers seem to be using them anymore. And even then, most of them don't bother with nitro simply because of the risks involved in the spraying process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheBlueStrat Posted May 13, 2009 Members Share Posted May 13, 2009 Why does the mere mention of John Mayer's name make me want to throw up and punch something at the same time? Because of the fact that he is a douchebag, but you can't help but respect his damn good guitar skills. But I like his music so it's good either way for me.

Just curious... off the top of my head, the SRV strat and Rory Gallagher and for the price you pay for Custom Shop, I would imagine its all done by hand.

Members headstash Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 Why does the mere mention of John Mayer's name make me want to throw up and punch something at the same time? Because you are too thickheaded to get beyond the two singles you heard 8 years ago to realize that John Mayer is an incredibly talented guitarist. And you have anger issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cliff Fiscal Posted May 14, 2009 Members Share Posted May 14, 2009 I should invent a relic robot.....it'll play the {censored} out of your guitar day and night.....until it looks bitchin'.
